Pool water cooling

[waterbear]

Thanks for the info. I'm in central FL so no ocean breeze. I guess it's back to the swapping my current heat pump with a heat/cool unit.

I have no confidence that the Glacier Pool Cooler will work - so unless I hear otherwise, I'm taking that option off the table.

If I am not mistaken the Glacier coolers are evaporative. They probably work very well in Arizona, where the company is located, with their very low humidity. Evaporative cooling is used in place of air conditioning effectively in such climates, but will not do much in Florida.
To give you an example, misters work very well to cool you off in dry climates and the mist quickly disappears and leaves you dry but in Florida all misters do is get you wet (as anyone who has ever visited Disneyworld in August can attest to!)

I am having a sprinkler system put in and was wondering. Can I run 150 of 2" PVC in the trench they dig and connect it to my pool pump. Do you all think it would cool the water down a bit?

Simple answer....no. PVC is actually a pretty good insulator, a lousy conductor of heat, and by just burying it in a trench the area around the pipe will eventually stabilize in temperature and lose any cooling effect. You need to constantly remove heat in some way.
